Home For Sale

Riverfront mountain retreat with rare access to the North Fork of the South Platte. This updated cabin sits on nearly two acres in an ideal setting--flat, fully fenced, and backing directly to the river with a private gate providing easy access to the water. Tucked just off Highway 285 for year-round access, the property offers both immediate enjoyment and long-term potential, with quick and convenient access to Bailey for local shopping, dining, and everyday essentials. Inside, the living space is warm and inviting, finished with beetle-kill pine accents and original hardwood flooring. The galley kitchen includes all appliances and flows into a comfortable living/sleeping area. Climate control is handled by a newer gas stove with remote, along with a wall furnace in the kitchen. The updated 3/4 bath is accessed through a stylish barn door. Recent improvements include new siding (2018), new windows and doors (2019), and a sliding glass door that opens to a newer 16' x 10' partially covered wood patio overlooking a peaceful meadow with frequent wildlife activity. The property has seen extensive fire mitigation and is well set up for storage and future expansion, with two sheds (one with electricity) and a heated pump house. The owned propane tank, updated 1000-gallon septic with new line and cleanouts, and ample parking on the flat lot make this an easy property to enjoy year-round. Located in historic Grant, CO, this amazing mountain gem is less than five minutes from Pike National Forest and offers a true Colorado lifestyle. Just a short walk away is The Shaggy Sheep, open year-round for coffee, meals, or a drink at the bar. With river frontage, highway access, proximity to Bailey, and room to build a future dream home, this is a versatile mountain getaway--or rebuild opportunity--that's becoming increasingly hard to find.
